Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere by absorbing infrared radiation emitted from the Earth's surface. This process creates a "greenhouse effect," preventing heat from escaping back into space, which leads to an increase in global temperatures. As the concentration of these gases rises due to human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation, the enhanced greenhouse effect intensifies, contributing to global warming and climate change.
